okay. lemme clarify a few things for you guys. all bikes under 1000 are china made. doesnt matter what brand it is. bozeem, boss, zakato, all fake brand. they're made in china. they are made of the cheapest possible part. but hey for 250. they're a bang for the buck. no one wants to shell out like 3 grand for a brand new pollini.

i will pm those that are serious about this gb

yea...there are 12 companies that have put their name on these things..but they all come from the same manufacturer...the 47cc are the fastest....the 49cc looks a lot nicer...but is slow as hell... like an elephant on an R1...

Realistically, $260 is still quite a hefty markup for this model, almost 100%.

BTW, a word of caution to those interested in purchasing these. These bikes are cheap Taiwan knock offs of Italian Pocket bikes used on a GoCart race circuit track. Those bikes are upward of $3,000 and come with 15 hp water-cooled 4-stroke motors. These go for about $300 and come with weedwacker motors.. And
